An infant with neonatal liver damage had α-1-antitrypsin deficiency, having inherited the Z allele from the father and the rare null allele from the mother. This indicates that while a lack of serum antiprotease predisposes to early liver disease, homozygosity for the Z allele is not essential.
一名患有新生儿肝损伤的婴儿存在α-1-抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症,其从父亲那里继承了Z等位基因,从母亲那里继承了罕见的无效等位基因。这表明,虽然血清抗蛋白酶缺乏易引发早期肝病,但Z等位基因的纯合性并非必要条件。
